For anyone who has ever trolled the shelves of grocery stores, drugstores, or health food stores, looking for healthy alternatives to the ubiquitous "Ensure," it appears, from an advertisement I just happened to catch on television, that "Boost" has entered the territory of Chex cereal and other major brands in that many of their flavors are now gluten free. (In the advertisement, Boost notes that its drinks are also lactose free).
However, please note, that according to the Boost website, there is one Boost drink that is not GF -- BOOST® High Protein Powder Drink Mix.The FAQ on the site in response to the question about whether BOOST is safe for those with celiac disease notes: "BOOST® Original, BOOST® High Protein, BOOST PLUS®, BOOST® Calorie Smart™, and BOOST Glucose Control® nutritional drinks are all gluten-free. However, BOOST® High Protein Powder Drink Mix is not gluten-free." Those with lactose intolerance, sensitivities or allergies should check the Boost website for specifics.
